Toward a forest transition across the Brazilian Atlantic Forest biome

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
The world has entered the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030), yet many regions of the world still face environmental degradation. In this context a question arises: under what conditions may a given region shift from a trajectory of environmental degradation to environmental recovery?

Combination of surveillance tools reveals that Yellow Fever virus can remain in the same Atlantic Forest area at least for three transmission seasons

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2019
BACKGROUND In Brazil, the Yellow Fever virus (YFV) is endemic in the Amazon, from where it eventually expands into epidemic waves. Coastal south-eastern (SE) Brazil, which has been a YFV-free region for eight decades, has reported a severe sylvatic ...

The magnitude and extent of edge effects on vascular epiphytes across the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Scientific Reports, 2020
Edge effects are ubiquitous landscape processes influencing over 70% of forest cover worldwide. However, little is known about how edge effects influence the vertical stratification of communities in forest fragments. We combined a spatially implicit and

ATLANTIC BIRDS: a data set of bird species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest [PDF]

Ecology, 2018
AbstractSouth America holds 30% of the world's avifauna, with the Atlantic Forest representing one of the richest regions of the Neotropics. Here we have compiled a data set on Brazilian Atlantic Forest bird occurrence (150,423) and abundance samples (N = 832 bird species; 33,119 bird individuals) using multiple methods, including qualitative surveys ...

Climate change will decrease the range size of snake species under negligible protection in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest hotspot

Scientific Reports, 2019
Reptiles are highly susceptible to climate change, responding negatively to thermal and rainfall alterations mainly in relation to their reproductive processes.

Assessing the potential of environmental DNA metabarcoding for monitoring Neotropical mammals: a case study in the Amazon and Atlantic Forest, Brazil

bioRxiv, 2019
The application of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding as a biomonitoring tool has greatly increased in the last decade. However, most studies have focused on aquatic macro-organisms in temperate areas (e.g., fishes).

Jumping spider (Araneae: Salticidae) diversity in the understory of the Argentinian Atlantic Forest

Caldasia, 2017
The Atlantic Forest is one of the key biodiversity hotspots in the world. Its understory can be dominated by species such as the native bamboo Chusquea ramosissima (tacuarembó), which can be an aggressive gap colonizer and change biotic and abiotic ...
